Bryan Stevenson On How America Can Heal

What would it take for America to heal? To be the country it claims to be?

These are the questions that animate Bryan Stevenson's career. Bryan Stevenson talks about truth and reconciliation in America — and about whether truth would actually lead to reconciliation in America. And he discusses what the process of reckoning with our past sins and present wounds would look and feel and sound like.

Bryan Stevenson is the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, a clinical professor at the New York University School of Law, a MacArthur genius, and the author of the remarkable book Just Mercy — which was recently turned into a feature film.
